Is AKG P120 condenser?
Affordable. The P120 is a 2/3-inch diaphragm true condenser microphone that offers solidly built quality, outstanding performance and excellent value. The low-mass diaphragm delivers a clear sound with accurate sonic detail for vocals, speech and instrument recording in project studios and for home recording.
What is the difference between cardioid and hypercardioid?
A Supercardioid polar pattern is more directional than Cardioid; Hypercardioid even more so. Unlike Cardioid, both of these polar patterns have sensitive rear lobes (smaller in the Supercardioid) that pick up sound, which can make positioning these highly-directional mics somewhat tricky.
Is the AKG P120 a cardioid condenser microphone?
The AKG P120 is an affordable mic you can use on almost anything. Rocking a 2/3″ diaphragm capsule, a fixed cardioid pickup pattern, and the ability to withstand high SPLs, the AKG P120 works great on just about any source – instrumental or vocal. A bass roll-off switch and 20dB pad add to this mic’s versatility.
What are hypercardioid mics good for?
Hypercardioid microphones are thus considered even more directional than cardioid microphones because they have less sensitivity at their sides and only slightly more directly behind. Hypercardioid microphones are frequently used in situations where a lot of isolation is desired between sound sources.
What is the difference between a cardioid and an hypercardioid microphone?
While a cardioid polar pattern is least sensitive at the rear (180 degrees off-axis), a supercardioid mic is least sensitive at 125 degrees and the hypercardioid at 110 degrees; you will need to take this into consideration when placing stage wedges.
Is the AKG P420 good for acoustic guitar?

How do I change the polar pattern on the c1000s?
As with the original C1000S, the polar pattern can be changed from cardioid to hyper-cardioid by fitting a plastic widget over the capsule, which again means unscrewing the two halves of the housing.
